This will be a free seminar exclusively for members of the Kikokusei no mikata, so please register here before attending.
Seminar overview
Want your child to experience a world-class education this summer?
In this seminar, education experts will explain in detail the appeal and possibilities of summer schools offered by prestigious British boarding schools. We will introduce the appeal of education unique to the home country of the UK, including what kind of school and curriculum can be learnt, and the experiences of students who have actually attended the school. The reasons why summer school is an opportunity for growth will also be explained in detail.
‘What career paths do students who attend summer school choose afterwards?’
‘How does a short experience abroad lead to admission to boarding school or university abroad?’
We will answer these questions and work together with you to consider the first steps towards expanding your child’s future possibilities.
Summer school is more than just a short-term study abroad experience; it is a valuable experience that fosters an international outlook and builds self-confidence. Exposure to different cultures, learning and challenging yourself with multinational peers will provide an opportunity to make a big difference to your child’s future. This summer experience may lead to a future overseas education or career.
Which school should I choose? “I’m worried about my English ability…” and “Is it possible to balance school in Japan with school in Japan?” Our experts will carefully answer specific questions such as “Which school should I choose? This is an opportunity for you to learn about the best options for your child and find out what the next step is!
